Day 4: Siena

We slept in (again), which is a theme for us. We are in no hurry which means that we are embracing the feeling of vacation. We went to the best cafe in town called Nannini for espresso and pastries. Just so you know, there is no such thing as cereal in europe (at least I can't find it). Once again, we were floored by the cafe's activity and the incredible cappuccinos. The pastries were scrumptous and we've been back multiple times. We traversed the city looking at the ceramic, wine and clothing shops. We took a tour of the Duomo (we needed to actually do some sightseeing) and were moved by the gothic marble carvings throughout the church. We ended up eating lunch at a restaurant that was located quite literally on a inclined street. We ate on a hill. It was scarey and yummy at the same time. After lunch the girls and I split up and went our seperate ways. They shopped and I explored. I got lost in a different part of the city and walked until I needed a nap. We met up for a dinner of pizza and pasta on the Campo and actually went to bed early. I can't possibly described everything that we witnessed, but we've been taking photos that will eventually get posted when we get back. Now we're off for a B&B in San Gimignano.

Caio!

Now we definitely want to go to Italy, however we want to do it your way. Perhaps you can design an itinerary for us.
